Learning styles and mentoring

Abstract

Examines the context for mentoring based on a mentor and learner looking together at work situations, problems and opportunities. Goes on to describe thinking through tasks, the learning process, the four learning styles and how these impact on the mentor/learner relationship, including the possible permutation of the different styles in a one‐to‐one association of mentor and learner. Finally, debates the preferred combination of styles in this relationship.
